Enjoy a Transformed Appearance With an Irvine Smile Makeover

Some smile improvements are subtle while others are more obvious. A smile makeover in Irvine, coordinated by cosmetic dentist Dr. Charles Tozzer, can completely transform your appearance so that you’re happy with how your smile looks.

Smile makeover is something that's gotten a lot of press lately with some TV programs that focus on it. Smile make over is nothing more than doing dentistry from a cosmetic standpoint. Veneers are part of it. Crowns are part of it, implants are part of it. There's a lot of different things and what's best for the patient would be something we can explain to them individually what works for them. We have some unique things. When we do smile makeovers. We have the dental lab actually come to our office so we can custom pick a shade for that patient. And I encourage the patient to look at pictures of teeth, tell me what they want, what it is they'd like to get. And it's not just about the color. The color is important, but actually contour is just as important. So we have patients looking at different contours. You know there's about 11 different contours of teeth out there?

And we educate the patients so they can decide what's best for them. Believe it or not, there's male and female teeth and if you give someone the wrong teeth, it will look wrong. They won't know exactly what it is, but they'll say, “Well, it just doesn't look right.” Even the Greeks figured this out. I teach this to dentists. 3000 years ago. You know the width of your front tooth is one 16th of the width of your face? The length of the tooth is also one 16th of the length of your face and the same general shape, male and female teeth.

So there's a science to it, but there's also an art and this is where the lab comes in and we get the shading and the color just right for that patient. So it's science and art together that makes cosmetic work overs and you can't have one without the other. We have patients fly in from all over the country for this particular procedure. We've earned a reputation of doing this very well and they're challenging cases. I've had cases I've done that were done previously by two or three other dentists and I tell the patient, “I don't want to be another one in the list. I want to be the last one. We're going to figure this out. We want to get this done just right for you. And I need from you feedback on what it is you want things to be.”

I love all of the staff at Tozzer Dental. I've been going there for years and it's nice to see the same people year after year. It's like seeing old friends when I have an appointment.
They are always gentle whether it's for a cleaning or for grinding a tooth down for a crown. How often do you hear about the dentist being a positive experience? Always, with these folks!

Visiting the offices of Doctor Charles Tozzer is like saying hello to family members you only see once or twice a year. They are friendly, courteous, caring and most of all the chocolate cookies are to die for!This time I had a new hygienist clean my teeth. We laughed, I cried, but all in all I had a great time. She tried her best to make it fun for me which I very much appreciate. I will be back in six months for more laughs and friendly service.

The Kuzay family has been seeing Dr. Tozzer since the late 1990s. That says a lot there, and the staff members have also been there forever. (Our son loves their giant chocolate chip cookies!) Dr. Tozzer himself is extremely competent and kind. Year after year he continues his visits down to a small town in Mexico to provide free dental care. What a big heart!

Common Questions About Smile Makeovers

A smile makeover is a plan to improve your smile using the cosmetic and/or restorative services that will give you the appearance you desire. We find makeovers work best with a comprehensive treatment plan rather than just undergoing individual services. Using a plan, we can help you create a realistic time frame and budget for your makeover.

The cost will vary, since no two smile makeovers are exactly alike. Dr. Tozzer will work with you to determine which services will help you achieve the results you want. Once that is determined, he can also give you a cost estimate. While cosmetic treatments typically won’t be covered by insurance, the cost of some restorative procedures may be.

Like cost, the time frame of a smile makeover will depend on the cosmetic and/or restorative treatments used for your makeover. Some procedures can be completed in a single trip to our office, while others may require several visits. We’ll plan your procedures for the most efficient use of time possible.
